PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was in tears as he visited victims of the Quetta police academy attack at Civil Hospital on Sunday.
Over 60 people were killed last week when three heavily-armed militants wearing suicide vests stormed a police academy in Quetta.
The PPP chairman recounted how "BB came here to Balochistan despite being warned about security risks."
"My family and the people of Balochistan share the same pain," he said. "I am no ordinary politician. I am the son of BB. I am a victim of this terrorism."
"I met people inside. Ten are injured and recovering. They said their treatment is underway. But that they can get better treatment in Karachi... In my personal capacity I will see that they get help from the Sindh government."
Speaking about the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief, Bhutto said, "Imran Khan's problem and habit is… he is a puppet and the strings are in someone else’s hands."
"Unfortunately, he is not the professional and legend that he used to be. Without support, without the umpire’s signal, he cannot start a movement."

No more theatrics please. Tell us what your party did during five years at the center and so far eight and a half years in Sindh. If you cry at the party's failure during these years, then may be you get a sympathetic audience.

@I am Malala.
Gestures aren't enough. Thar is still deprieved despite his good gesture there also.
He doesn't even have the courage to stand upto his father and tell him to stop the criminal activities he is involved in.
You will be alone every time a calamity comes. Bilawal will only come to console. Always later and always words only.
Wake up.

In embracing Dr Asim, making soft statements about Uncle Altaf and making all the moves on the directions of his father, he is fast losing his chances of becoming a true BB's son and a future leader. I am sure he must have felt for the victims of terror in Quetta - who wont, but that's not enough, he needs to come in his own as a leader without taking instructions from his father - but can he !

What movement has Bilawal started?

At least Imran Khan won a World Cup for Pakistan. That's significantly more than what Bilawal has done for Pakistan.

I mean no offence but i personally feel that he us just like Rahul gandhi , the so called p.m.hopeful of India .
People like Rahul gandhi and bilawal think their only only claim to the highest position on the country is due to the fact that their family members have ruled the respective countries in the past .
It's high time that people of both the countries show the door to these pampered Princes who are born with silver spoons in their mouth .
